Are you in need of a wedding gift, a welcome to

your new home gift, or just an update to your

bowl collection? We have some great handmade

back. I will have them for sale on Wednesday night during WNT

Rainbow Bells Norma Adams has donated sets of “Rainbow Bells” for our children’s program. We would love to start a Children’s “handbell” program by starting with our children who are 3years and older. They must know colors. We will need several children in order to make it work, so please notify us if you are interested in having your child or children participate in this fun activity. They will also learn to love music and to work as a team. If you would like to learn more, call Chris Norton at 731 885-0087. We have some really nice music to work on, and it would be good to have them participating in Church activities.
